With my procharger kit it came with a boost and fuel pressure guage for the pillar. My car is a '92 so I have the single wire o2 sensors. I would like to have an air fuel ratio guage instead of the fuel pressure guage. I know I would have to install a wideband o2 sensor. Can I make a separate circuit, or what would be the best way?

best way is to weld in a seperate bung in your exhaust . pretty easy for a muffler shop to do for you .

I agree. I'd have a second bung welded in and do it that way. I don't know if you can find a 3 pod gauge pillar, but I think FP is important, too.

especially with a super charger . you lose fuel pressure @wot and dont have a gauge ,you could end up with a bunch of burnt pistons

If you could only have two, which two would be best?

It is best to have all 3....but when you make a run you will be focused on the road or track, and watching the AFR gauge as much as possible. If you lose fuel pressure you will more than likely see the AFR gauge go lean and let off of it, well before your eyes see the fuel pressure gauge go down. So, the AFR gauge will show if the fuel pressure drops, but the fuel pressure won't always show you if it goes lean for some reason other than fuel pressure.
